“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets”.
St. Matthew Gospel Chapter 7: Verse 12.
Amidst the hundreds of Christmas Movies available to watch this festive season, be sure to take some time to relax and watch the heart-warming tale of ‘Angela’s Christmas’.
Set in Co. Limerick, Ireland in 1914, and based on a tale by Frank McCourt, ‘Angela’s Christmas’ will captivate audiences both young and old.
It’s Christmas Eve and Angela is off to Mass with her family, when she spots a baby Jesus in need of clothes more suited to our Irish weather. With wit and determination, little Angela hatches a plan, that takes her on a comical, but poignant, adventure.
Created by Ireland’s own award-winning Brown Bag Animation Studio, and featuring an all-star Irish cast, ‘Angela’s Christmas’, [available to view on NETFLIX], captures so much of what really matters at this time of year; namely our families, our children, faith and humanity.
At another level, ‘Angela’s Christmas’ is a powerful reminder that the simplest gestures at Christmas can make a huge difference to those less fortunate than ourselves.
Do remember this Christmas, that you can make a difference to those less fortunate by supporting many of our local Thurles charitable groups including: Thurles Lions Club, St Vincent de Paul, and Thurles Meals on Wheels.
As stated ‘Angela’s Christmas’ is available to stream on NETFLIX and is rated U.
A sequel, ‘Angela’s Christmas Wish’, has been released on NETFLIX in recent weeks.
Both films are ideal educational viewing for school students, coming up to the Christmas Holiday period
